Chapter 57: Mutated Animals (1/2)

Nile somersaulted and landed on the ground with a pose.

Nile will not let the same thing happen twice. When he moved to the base of Maximo's neck, he already included getting thrown out as a possible scenario.

And when it really happened, Nile is already prepared.

Nile turned around and observed Maximo. Now is the chance to know if Maximo is also consuming the Apocalypse Virus to mutate.

Maximo is staring at the corpse of the zombie.

The clean cut on the head, the two wounds on its arms, and the various little wounds on the zombie's body.

Maximo is observing the zombie's body, intently. Its nose arrived at the head part of the zombie where it was cleanly cut.

Suddenly, Maximo made an unusual expression. It gagged and its tongue is even drawn out from its mouth. It suddenly turn around and started to vomit water on the ground.

Nile is dumbfounded on what he saw.

If you do not plan on eating it, why the hell did you even smell it?

Are you satisfied now after smelling a rotting corpse?

Nile holds his laughter, even though Maximo is still an animal, Nile thought that it will be rude to laugh at someone's misfortune.

Maximo turn towards Nile, its tongue is stick out as it will sometimes bulge its eyes. While Maximo glance at Nile, it could not help but also took a glance at the corpse. It then suddenly remembered something awful, and it started to upchuck the water it consumed earlier.

Nile is bewildered.

Is this the first time you saw a corpse? Stop being a sissy and get used to it.

Nile wanted to say it, but he endured his urges.

Nile approach Maximo and petted Maximo's neck.

”Take it easy, you'll get used to it soon.” Nile said.

With that, Nile can more or less confirm that Maximo is not using Apocalypse Virus as the way to get stronger.

It was the same with the zombie that Nile had killed before, the zombie who is fighting Maximo. When it died, Maximo has been lying on the ground unable to move. That is why Nile thought that it must be the reason why it did not check on the zombie's corpse to search for the Apocalypse Virus.

But this time around, Maximo had been sniffing the zombie's corpse, and it even vomited because of it.

It can be said that Maximo had no prior experience on killing and collecting a zombie's Apocalypse Virus. Because if it had, it will surely not react that way.

'If it was not the Apocalypse Virus that had caused Maximo to mutate, what is?' Nile pondered deeply.

This is also important for him, because the stronger Maximo gets, the faster his ride will be. He will also gain a strong sidekick.

The fight earlier should have been finished instantly if only the two of knew what the other party wants.

If Maximo side-step at that time before the collision, Nile will be able to make a clean cut on the zombie's head. With their inertia at that time, cutting the zombie's body directly will not even be a problem.

On the other hand, if Nile knew from the start that Maximo will ram the zombie, he would surely try to pierce the zombie's head directly. Both of the zombie's arm at that time had been impaled on Maximo's horn, so that was the best chance for Nile to kill the zombie instantly.

Alas, because of their inexperience, the result is satisfactory but could be outstanding if they knew what to do.
